AMERICA’S Got Talent has wrapped up with an epic season finale, and fans are furious after Aiden Bryant’s win.
During tonight’s finale of AGT: All-Stars, 11 acts remained out of the original 60 brought back for the season, but the aerialist defeated them all.

Last week, all of the competitors battled it out with the fiercest and most iconic acts they could create.
Fan favorite Avery Dixon was on season 17 of the show and made it to the finale with his jazzy saxophone routine.
Judges Howie Mandel labeled him “most improved” after last week’s performance, and Simon Cowell called his act “astonishing.”
Aidan Bryant performed his final AGT aerialist performance high above the competition stage.
His performance made Howie wonder if he has a spine, and he had Judge Heidi Klum screaming from the judge’s panel.
Aidan was part of the first finale performance of the night as he swung wildly in the air behind Adam Lambert as he sang a cover of Chandelier by Sia.
Avery performed with the winner of 12 Grammy awards and R&B legend Babyface.
The young saxophone player wore a fantastic silk pink suit and danced along as Babyface sang for the crowd.

GETTING RID OF THE COMPETITION
By the end of the show, it was finally time for the host Terry Crews to make the difficult announcement of who will be in the final top five.
Aiden was the first act that made it to the top five after beating out an acrobatic trio called The Bello Sisters.
Avery was put up against comedian Mile E Winfield, and, as the crowd chanted his name, Avery moved on to the top five.
Aiden, Avery, 13-year-old magician Aidan McCann, dance group Light Balance KIDS, and 13-year-old ventriloquist Ana-Maria Mărgean made up AGT’s All-Stars top five.
Terry Crews maintained the suspense by first announcing who got fifth place in the rankings. Magician Aidan ranked in fifth place and was sent home.
Next, ventriloquist Ana-Maria was sent home after coming in fourth place and Light Balance KIDS was sent home for coming in third.
Aiden and Avery were the top two contestants, and the tension at the show could be felt through the screen.
Terry said: “This competition has been about finding the greatest Got Talent act in the world. 11 acts started the night with hopes of winning, we are down to the top two.”
The host then announced Aiden had won the title, and the winner began to cry as pyrotechnics lit up the stage.
SORE LOSER
While Avery was a gracious second runner-up, his loyal and dedicated fans on Twitter ripped AGT for allegedly ‘rigging’ the votes and taking the win away from the saxophone player.
One angry fan wrote: “Neither of the final two should’ve been up there. Totally RIGGED. Not buying that ‘talent has won tonight,’ Simon. Not buying any of it.”
Another said: “#AGTAllstars totally rigged. Total BS.”
A third added: “So confused about what’s actually going on here with @AGT. Wtf are these results? And the ‘super fans’ in the audience ‘gasp’ like they didn’t do this nonsense.”
A very blunt fan said: “Avery was robbed.”
